warehousing database?

Answer Posted / kaki

OLTP

2. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE immediately refelects data in the
OLTP transactional database.

OLAP
2. Denormalized database; having lesser joins. Hence,
performance is good.
3. Need a tool like ETL to populate the database; Data may
not be seen immediately after creation unless ETL populates
it.

Hi, I've a mapping with flat file source The target update override property for the target table is using update stmt. There is no update strategy between source and target. Also The session has the target properties as Insert , Update as update options checked. Does this mean that recs will be inserted only and the update override will not be applied at all. Thanks
